Some good points there, small countys are the same in most places and relatively violence free, which makes the Conneticut shooting more surprising, because isn't Conneticut a relatively violence free region?
If that's the case concerning Europe's and the USA's size, why do we not have the same level of violence as you do? Is it because we don't have the same amount of guns?
